Turbid water can significantly reduce the effectiveness of disinfectants. The presence of suspended particles, organic matter, and microorganisms in turbid water can shield pathogens from the disinfectant, leading to lower contact efficiency. Additionally, these particles may react with the disinfectant, consuming it and reducing its available concentration for effective disinfection. Consequently, higher doses or longer contact times may be required to achieve the same level of microbial inactivation.
